The Challenge of In-Prison Higher Education

Abstract

In The Archive we republish articles that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of their time in their prescience or may yet still have something to provoke our thinking in this current moment. Our pull from this issue is a 1992 piece from John Cartwright (1933–2011), former Executive Secretary/Treasurer of the Society of Christian Ethics, which was a constituent society of the Council for the Societies for the Study of Religion. Readers will recall that the CSSR Bulletin was a predecessor to this publication. Cartwright discusses the intersection of higher education and incarceration in a manner well ahead of current initiatives in the United States. You can find the original in CSSR Bulletin 21.4, 99–100).
